So, if we want something like synthetic consciousness, the problem may not be, “What algorithm should we run?” The problem may be, “What kind of physical system must exist for that algorithm to be inseparable from its own dynamics?”
What are the necessary features—hybrid event–field interactions, multi-scale coupling without clean interfaces, energetic constraints that shape inference and learning—such that computation is not an abstract description laid on top, but an intrinsic property of the system itself?
That is the shift biological computationalism demands: moving from a search for the right program to a search for the right kind of computing matter.
